Maori Davenport, the player who received a stipend, scores 25 points after her eligibility was restored

Maori Davenport was originally ruled ineligible to play high school basketball, because she received an errant $857.20 stipend check from U.S.A. Basketball.

Though the Davenports paid back the money and reported the violation, her ruling was not revoked until her parents filed a lawsuit with the Alabama High School Athletic Association, ESPN reported.

Then, she was able to play for her team, Charles Henderson High School, and she made a big impact on Friday night. Davenport scored 25 points to lead the Lady Trojans past Carroll (Ozark, Ala.) High School 72-17.
